Gift cards for everyone! If you want to treat yourself while picking up an easy last-minute gift for someone else, check out these lists of gift card freebies.

DealNews is updating its long list as it's finding them. Many of them are for restaurants, but there are retail stores participating as well. Also, a few offer free stuff rather than a free gift card. Some examples:

Applebee's: Buy $50 in gift cards, get a free $10 gift card

Fandango: Buy $50 in gift cards, get a free movie ticket

L.L. Bean: Spend more than $50, get a free $10 gift card

Smith & Wollensky: Buy $100 in gift cads, get a free $25 gift card

The Cheesecake Factory: Buy $25 in gift cards, get a free slice of cheesecake

There are some gift card freebies not yet on DealNews, however. You'll want to also check Doughroller's roundup, which adds deals for Barnes and Noble, Benihana, Build-a-Bear, Dell, and others.
